"Move" is a song by Little Mix that serves as the lead single and appears as the second track on their second album Salute. It was released in the United Kingdom on November 3, 2013. An acoustic version of the song was released on May 30, 2014.

Background[]

Following Little Mix's DNA Tour, the group began work on their second studio album. The group wrote the song wanting to show off their musical progression with a mature sound. The group achieved this by allowing the song to be more production-led than their previous material. Little Mix co-wrote "Move" with Cottone, their vocal coach, and Nathan Duvall. During a livestream, the group revealed the name of their next single and Jade Thirlwall described the song-writing process as, "We all sat in the studio together and vibed and made little noises…" Lyrically, the song talks of boys who think they are too cool to dance and ultimately leads to Little Mix telling them to move.

During the live stream, Perrie Edwards said: "This is a big deal for us. We've worked on our album for so long now. We're very proud of it (Move)... you never know what people are going to think do you?" During the stream, Jesy Nelson said "I would personally say the new album is a step up. It's more R&B and mature. It's just cooler." The girls, who performed at Radio 1's Big Weekend in London in May, were asked about how they wrote the song. Jade said: "This one was quite interesting.... We started with sounds. Just making loads of little quirky noises... and just put the song together really. We were just 'vibing' off each other. It was a bit weird actually, but we are a bit weird anyway."

Jade:
Hey baby, tell me your name
I got a fever for you
I just can't explain
But there's just one problem
I'm a bit old school
When it comes to lovin'
I ain't chasin' you
Ain't waiting, I'm on a roll
You've got to let yourself go

Perrie:
Woah (talk to me)
You know that I've been waiting for you (and I noticed you to)
Don't leave me standing all by myself (I won't leave you standing all alone
Cause I ain't looking at no one else (oooh baby)

Jesy:
Hey, get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot I think that I might fall, woo
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas Day came early
Just what I want so when we move, you move

Little Mix:
Hey, get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot, I think that I might fall
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas Day came early
Just what I want so when we move, you move

Leigh-Anne:
Oh silly, why you afraid?
Don't be a big baby
Quit playing games
Now put your arms around me
You know what to do
And we can take it down low

Perrie with Little Mix:
Woah, you know that I've been waiting for you (for you)
Don't leave me standing all by myself (myself)
Cause I ain't looking at no one else
Looking at no one else! (Jade: Yeah,yeah, oh)

Little Mix (Jade):
Hey, get your back off the wall (Oh)
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot, I think that I might fall (Jesy: I think that I might fall)
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas Day came early (Leigh-Anne: Like Christmas day came early)
Just what I want so when we move, you move (Perrie: So when we move, you move!)

Get your back off the wall (Leigh-Anne: Oh get comfortable)
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot (Leigh-Anne: Yeah,yeah), I think that I might fall (Perrie: Hey yeah)
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas Day came early (Jesy: Came early)
Just what I want so when we move, you move

Leigh-Anne:
I know that you wanna
But you can't cause you gotta
Stay cool in the corner
When the truth is that you wanna move
So move!
I know that you wanna
But you can't cause you gotta
Stay cool in the corner
When the truth is that you wanna move
So move!

Perrie (Little Mix):
Move it baby, ooooh (Aaaah Aaaah)
You know that I've been waiting for you (Aaaah Aaaah)
Don't leave me standing all by myself (Aaaah Aaaah)

Looking at no one else, looking at no one else
Aaaaw!
